SCENE 3

Elmo has been looking around for air, but can't see any. Bob explains how air is all around him, but invisible. He plays a game with Elmo - he hands him some grocery bags with fruit in them, then one without to see if Elmo can tell if there's something inside or not. Bob blows into the final bag, showing Elmo how one can feel air. Elmo asks him and others to blow into the bag so he can have a bag full of it.
